‘For us, having a considerate mind in approach and design has always been something that’s really important, I think over these last eight years of our label we recognize that the foundation of it is human beings more than anything else, right down to the craft making. And I think that’s at the heart of who we are. So, like, we don’t necessarily think of the words being sustainable. But we think of having a more considerate approach, not just through design, but also through the spirit of business. So I mean, that’s our approach and having a business. That’s our approach and creating that marriage between business and design work. And as well as social impact work.’ Mdingi, Lukhanyo. Interview. Conducted by Beyond the Pines. 21 June 2022.

At Beyond the Pines we publish the beauty we see in the world. In people, in nature, in culture, in art. However, we acknowledge that there are challenges our society struggles to address, let alone overcome. We encourage our audience to look beyond their comfort zone and help us confront these problems with us. On June 15th, Beyond the Pines will host our first-ever Muse Volunteer Day. For our inaugural event, we are partnering with the Los Angeles Foodbank which has worked since 1973 to mobilize resources in the LA area where 1 in 5 people experience hunger.

The Fall-Winter 2022 Collection is dedicated to youth, in hopes that it can keep the unresolved poetry of adolescence like a flawless garment – in all its vivid romanticism, inspiring idealism, hope for the future, for a better world, and its dreams of perfection. With a certain stylistic idea of adolescence, Nicolas Ghesquière designed a collection without constraint or restrictions, one that can be mixed and matched depending on mood in order to approach taste as a personal construct. Like the teenage years that allow one to forge character, the collection is based on the idea of freedom of movement and a youthful desire to customize everything.

After partnering for many campaigns over the years, the designer tapped the Stranger Things actress to model the brand’s latest bag, where she perfectly channeled her signature Tim Burton goth-girl persona.

2002 – the Beetlejuice actress’ was found guilty of theft after shoplifting over $5k worth of merchandise from the Beverly Hills location of Saks Fifth Avenue — including a $760 Marc Jacobs floral cashmere top. She later wore a Marc Jacobs sweater dress from his Fall/Winter 2001 collection to the trial itself.

2003 – The pair first worked together nearly 20 years ago, when Ryder was the face of Jacobs’ Spring 2003 ad campaign, photographed by Juergen Teller.

2007 – The pair go on to attend the Met Gala with one another, celebrating “Poiret: King of Fashion.”

2015 – Ryder starred in the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter campaign.

2016 – Winona was named the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty campaign.

2022 – Winona’s back as the face of Marc Jacobs’s campaign for its new J Marc shoulder bag, shot by Harley Weir and styled by Emma Wyman.

Dorothy Stratten was a rising star. She was blonde and beautiful, a shy girl with a big heart who worked at the dairy queen until she was plucked from obscurity and put on the cover of Playboy magazine.

To Hugh Hefner, she was the next Marilyn Monroe. To legendary director Peter Bogdonovich, she was his muse. And to her small-time hustler boyfriend from home, she was his ticket to fame and fortune. All three ambitious men adored her. Only one of them murdered her.

It was 1978 and, at the time, those who knew them said Snider saw an opportunity in Stratten and began grooming her. Eventually, he persuaded her to pose for a nude photoshoot, which could help launch her career in Los Angeles.

Over the next two years, the naive but unforgettable centerfold became a Playboy Playmate of the Year while also building an acting career. At the time she was the only playmate to ever be pursued by Vogue magazine.

But before Stratten could reach the heights of her stardom, she was brutally murdered by Snider, the same man who had first discovered her.

In August 1980, Dorothy Stratten, a Playboy Playmate, was discovered dead at just 20 years old. She was the sweet girl next door with the shy grin and quiet voice who didn’t realize how beautiful she was.

Dorothy’s murder nearly destroys Peter Bogdanovich. He publishes a book called The Killing of the Unicorn. He uses the book to go after his old friend, Hef, blaming the Playboy machine for her death. The feud is ugly, personal, and very public. A year later Hef would have has a stroke, he mentioned the allegations as a cause. The falling out will last until his death in 2017 at 91, where he’s laid to rest in the same cemetery as Dorothy.

Star 80 is a Biographical film adapted from ‘Death of a Playmate’ based on Dorothy. The film chronicles Stratten’s relationship with Snider, their move to Los Angeles, her success as a Playboy model, the dissolution of their relationship, and her murder. The death scene was filmed in the same house in which the real murder-suicide took place.

While she’s had our hearts since Juliye hit the tabloids and the documented Diesel love affair infiltrated our feeds, Julia Fox has also had our wallets.

Post-Juliye she’s continued to give us plenty of memorable moments from her vocal fry ‘Uncut Gems’ (BTW INCREDIBLE film, lead by Adam Sandler in a roll unlike any other he’s over portrayed) quote to ‘I did it myself’ to her admirable paparazzi encounters. Julia wants to be remembered as fierce AF and her latest shoot paves the way for that legacy.

At the epicenter of her headline-making era, she’s consistently been a loyal Diesel ambassador. Launchmetrics, a leading industry resource for measuring brand performance and ROI, estimates that between Jan. 4 and Jan. 15, Fox generated $629K in media impact value (MIV) across 181 placements for Diesel. Completely randomly, Diesel — regaining some of its early-2000s relevance — is in the midst of a brand refresh under new Creative Director Glenn Martens, and the clothes worn by Fox are from his first collection, which just hit stores.
